VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EnviroGold Global Limited (TSXV: NVRO | OTCQB: ESGLF | FSE: YGK) ("EnviroGold" or the "Company") a clean technology company focused on the recovery of precious and critical metals from mine waste and tailings, today announced that 44,474,680 of 44,885,580 warrants expiring on April 30, 2026 were exercised prior to expiry, representing an exercise rate of more than 99% and generating $3,557,974 in new cash proceeds for the Company.
Grant Freeman, Chief Executive Officer of EnviroGold Global, said:
"This is an outstanding result and a clear vote of confidence from our warrantholders, with more than 99% of the expiring warrants being exercised. Importantly, this strengthens our balance sheet at a pivotal point in EnviroGold's growth cycle and positions the Company to accelerate commercialization of the NVRO Process."
Use of Proceeds
The additional capital will support:
- Ongoing commercialization initiatives as the Company advances the NVRO Process toward industrial scale commercial deployment - Technology Readiness Level 9;
- Customer engagement and project assessment activities across global mining markets;
- Continued advancement of EnviroGold's technology licensing model; and
- Further development of the Company's critical minerals hub strategy, a centralized processing approach designed to accelerate industrial-scale deployment of the NVRO Process across mine waste, tailings, and other qualifying mineralized material from multiple sources.
NVRO Process
EnviroGold's NVRO Process is being positioned as a transformative technology for the mining sector, with three core applications:
- A reprocessing solution for legacy tailings;
- A primary mineral processing technology for sulphidic and refractory ores; and
- A back-of-mine solution to reduce future tailings generation and acid-generating waste.
By targeting metal recovery from mine waste and difficult-to-process sulphide materials, EnviroGold is focused on creating new economic value while supporting improved environmental outcomes for mine owners, tailings owners, and surrounding communities.
David Cam, Executive Chairman of EnviroGold Global, said:
"The near-total exercise of these warrants is more than a financing milestone, it demonstrates our shareholders' strong support for the Company's strategy. EnviroGold is entering a critical phase of execution, and this additional capital allows us to move forward with greater confidence, momentum, and flexibility as we advance commercialization and pursue growth opportunities."
